End hostility towards domestic energy producers
Forty years after an oil embargo led to gas rationing and long lines at the pump, we still don't have a plan for energy independence. Instead, our own government limits our options by being overtly hostile towards domestic energy producers.
In the process, they force us to rely on energy resources from countries that wish to do us harm. With the right leadership, we can have a domestic energy policy that is environmentally responsible in the long-term while meeting our current needs.

Perdue opposes the PVS survey question on renewable energy
Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Energy and Environment: Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)?'
PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
